The MacPorts MySQL socket has never been in /tmp, to the best of my knowledge. The official binary distribution of MySQL from http:// dev.mysql.com does use that location, however.
When using the MacPorts php5 port with the MacPorts mysql5 port, they "just work." PHP knows where the MySQL socket is. I don't use Ruby, but I would have hoped that MacPorts Ruby would also "just work" with MacPorts MySQL.
I am stumped now because the same upgrade on a MacBookPro seems to work fine. So something went awry when I upgraded the iMac. I just did a port -u update and didn't get any errors.
Perhaps on one machine you have a my.cnf file and on the other you don't? Or you have my.cnf files on both machines but they contain different instructions?
